The Communion Propers are Acts 2:1-11 and St. John 14:15-31. There are also proper Psalms and a proper First and Second Lesson for Morning and Evening Prayer. The BCP ties in diverse themes to show how Pentecost is an eschatological event where the Spirit makes God's dwelling place in man once again, but this time through the conversion of His people. Pentecost also brings in the nations, as the...2024-05-1547 minThe BCP Propers PodcastThe Sunday After Ascension DayThis week falls in between the Ascension and Whitsunday.

The Gospel reading is John 16:5-15, and it teaches us that the Holy Spirit takes the place of Christ in our hearts and leads us into truth.

2024-03-261h 01The BCP Propers PodcastThe Sunday Next Before EasterThis week kicks off what is known as Holy Week or "Passion Week." Different from later Prayer Books and lectionaries, the Reformation-era BCPs did not have a "Palm Sunday." Instead, this Sunday was the "Sunday Next Before Easter," a Sunday entirely dedicated to the Cross. The central emphasis is clear in the lengthy readings of all 75 verses of Matthew 26 and then 54 verses of Matthew 27. The Epistle reading and Second Lesson for Evening Prayer provide the theological reflection on the event, Philippians 2:5-11 and Hebrews 5:1-10.

The Epistle reading from Hebrews 9 explains how Christ is our high priest who enters the sanctuary in heaven. The Gospel, from John 8, portrays Jesus as the Covenant God of Abraham, as He proclaims to be "I Am." The Old Testament lessons come from Exodus, chapters 3 and 5, and show how the God of Moses revealed His name as I Am and promised to deliver His people from Egypt. Israel of old was not always faithful, however...2024-03-1237 minThe BCP Propers PodcastThe Fourth Sunday in LentWe have passed the midpoint in the season of Lent, and so this week's Collect and readings focus on relief. Though we deserve punishment, God gives us grace through the gospel of Christ. The Epistle reading, from Galatians 4, tells the "allegory" of the two covenants, Hagar-Sinai and the Promise, and Paul uses this understanding of Genesis to argue for salvation by grace rather than works. The Gospel comes from John 6 and shows Jesus providing for those who follow Him in the wilderness. It also connects Exodus and the Passover to His own work. The two Old Testament readings, Gen. 43...2024-03-0638 minThe BCP Propers PodcastThe Third Sunday in LentFor this week in Lent, the Prayerbook focuses on spiritual warfare, the battle against the demonic but also against sin and those under its power. The Epistle reading, from Ephesians 5, restates certain sins from last week but adds our need to reprove them by living in the light of Christ. The Gospel reading is from Luke 11, where Jesus casts out demons and then warns about both the dangers of a house divided and a house left vacant. You are either actively with Jesus or you are against Him. The Old Testament lessons begin the saga of Joseph, from Genesis 39...2024-02-2838 minThe BCP Propers PodcastThe Second Sunday in LentThe second week in Lent shifts focus from food to sexual morality.

We begin with a discussion about Lent and fasting, particularly the way that Anglicans understand this topic. Then we move into the propers for the day. The Epistle comes from 2 Cor. 6, where Paul discusses our ability to be content under duress and affliction, knowing the truth of our salvation. The Gospel text from Matthew 4 shows Christ's own fasting in the wilderness for our sake. Then the Old Testament lessons show us a picture of "law" and the depth of human sinfulness in the Sodom story of Genesis 19, while Genesis 22 gives us a...2024-02-2137 minThe BCP Propers PodcastAsh WednesdayLent begins this week, and so this episode looks at how the Book of Common Prayer commemorates Ash Wednesday. You'll notice one thing right away: there are no ashes! But there are the 7 Penitential Psalms, a Communion Service with Scripture readings, and a special service called "A Commination, or Denouncing of God's Anger and Judgements Against Sinners." Listen to learn more about the Biblical selections and theology of Ash Wednesday in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. 2024-02-1241 minThe BCP Propers PodcastThe Third Sunday After the EpiphanyThis week's episode discusses how God rules over all things, people and elements, through Christ. The Epistle reading completes Romans 12, as it discusses God's eschatological judgment as the rationale for why we can bless our enemies in this life. The Gospel shows how Jesus can heal, and it shows the faith of the Centurion. This is an early example of the Gentiles being brought in to the kingdom. The Old Testament readings come from Isaiah 55 and 56, and they complement the themes of God's righteous judgment, eschatology, the incorporation of the Gentiles, and condemnation of those natural children of the...2024-01-1936 minBlack and Red All Over: A Classic Confessing Anglican PodcastArticles 22-24: Of Purgatory, Authority, and the Understood TongueOn this month's episode, our daring hosts continue their journey through the formularies of the Anglican Way with a discussion of the Thirty-Nine Articles. Steven and Richard work through Articles 22-24. What is the historic Anglican view of purgatory, pardons, worshipping and adoration as well of images as of relics, and also invocation of saints? Why is a proper authority necessary for appointing men to preach the Word of God and administer His sacraments? Why must the public worship of the church be in a language understood by the people? All these topics and more will be discussed with...2024-01-0953 minThe BCP Propers PodcastThe Second Sunday After the EpiphanyEpiphany continues with a look at how Christ's kingship governs spiritual and earthly things, bringing us to our eternal renewal. The Epistle is Romans 12:6-16, continuing the chapter begun last week. The gospel is John 2:1-11, Jesus' first miracle at the wedding at Cana. The Old Testament "First Lessons" come from Isaiah 51 and 53.

The propers for Epiphany teach us about the Wise Men from the East, but also the role that revelation plays in bringing in the salvation of the church and the ongoing life of the church. Having seen Christ in the gospel, we must proclaim him to all things earth and in heaven! The Communion propers for this day are Eph. 3:1-12 and Matthew 2:1-12.

This is the first of two John the Baptist weeks, and this week matched the December "Ember week." The Collect connects pastors to the prophetic vocation that John the Baptist held. The Epistle from 1 Corinthians 4 warns about judging wrongly, and it warns against mistreating clergy. The Gospel comes from St. Matthew 11, illustrating both the work of the messiah and the person and demeanor of John, the messiah's messenger.
